Day 42 – Practice, Practice, Practice
Beck congratulates you: You’ve learned the Cognitive Therapy skills you need to think like a thin person. She reminds you the longer you use them the more automatic they will become.
Describe some differences in your thinking from before you started to lose weight to now.

Now I know it is my thinking that causes problems and that if I catch it and talk back to it, I can keep from going off plan. I'm aware of desire to eat and cravings and can deal with them. I pay more attention to my hungry and feeling of being satisfied/full. I recognize the behaviors I need to do on a regular basis to make this work.

I've learned that I can be aware of the thoughts that keep me from managing my weight well, and that I can make changes in my behavior. More specifically, what's most helpful is that I'm more aware of the thoughts that happen before I start to overeat, and I know that I can distract myself and distance myself from the food. I've made a lot of progress doing this since I first learned of Beck and her techniques. But I think I could still do better, and yes I need to practice and practice more.

I am learning to recognize the triggers and thoughts and trying to stop before I take an automatic action without thinking.
I need to read my cards regularly and focus on that trigger-decision-action process more.

Differences:
* I accept that I have to continue eating the way I lost weight to maintain the loss * I don't beat myself up for slips but make sure they don't turn into slides * I accept that I will be a work in progress the rest of my life
* I know that I am in charge of what I eat or don't eat and that my choices create my reality
